English ith US Vice President Joseph Biden in the audience, Petro
Poroshenko, a billionaire confectioner, was formally sworn in Saturday
as president of Ukraine. Delivering a bellicose speech, he pledged to
confront Russia, suppress the separatists in Ukraine’s east and fully
militarise the country. At the same time, he alluded to his plans to
impose brutal austerity measures on the Ukrainian working class.
Poroshenko began by paying homage to the fascistic forces that
spearheaded his installation, via a US- and European Union-backed putsch
in February followed by an election held May 25 amid a reign of terror
and military violence in eastern Ukraine. He enthused over the
“victorious revolution” by “Ukrainian patriots” and “warriors.”
